Discussion Trump cabinet thread...updated 11/24/24 (full list)

- Yeah, I'll give Trump credit where it is due: He has really demonstrated that the whole world is run by a bunch of fucking imbeciles and the only thing holding this shit together in any meaningful capacity are ironically the everyday working people who just plug away at whatever inane shit we've cobbled together and called the human civilization.

Therein lies the power of a general strike...

Build a wall and hire undocumented migrants to build it for minimum wage. Then sell them plane tickets to fly back home?

maybe you'll finally be able to blow your load while throwing hand grenades at children.

I've driven a car, does that mean I'm qualified for Director at NHTSA?

Can't think of anyone more qualified.

Tldr: Can't think.

 

[trenchfoot]

Yeah, they may not be able to stop them but they certainly don't have to support them. There is value in calling out their unfitness.

It seems to me that after ruminating over the reasons why Trump won the way he did, it did make me pause over the idea that the more the Republican politicians and their operatives get called out for actual and factual reasons why they should never be trusted with the keys to our policy making and our treasury due to their corruption, malfeasance and criminality, most of the folks who put them in office get insulted, indignant and reflexively turn to revenge as their answer to the accusations being levied against their leaders.

It simply makes no matter to them how many crimes are being committed by their representatives in gov't, it only matters to them that their chosen leaders are being vilified, humiliated and shamed from being called out and held accountable for their actions and they want payback for it, Trump being the prime example. It's one of the ways I could justify why a known felon, tax cheat, adulterating sex abuser and being a notorious arrogant scofflaw could, as incredible as it seems, possibly be seen as the best person to lead the nation.

Don't be surprised if Don woos them later on.

Why does he need to "woo" a dead political party?

He doesn't need them to pass anything.

Just in case of a Republican rebellion.

Always play chess, not checkers.

I'm a little rusty but I don't recall Marx having much to say about gay people.

Truly just a reactionary catch all for "I do not like this new/different thing".
Speaking of which my new keyboard is being very Marxist this morning and furthering the far leftist woke agenda.

So the term woke is out and Marxist is in?

 

[Pontius Dilate]

I think he's probably meaning 'Cultural Marxism' which is a dumb racist right-wing conspiracy theory that is tossed around effectively synonymously with they way they use 'woke'. Because they are racist and dumb.

If every world leader got snapped by Thanos today, everything would click along exactly the same (or better because many actively make things worse) for quite a while.

If every truck driver or farm worker stayed home for a couple weeks there would be utter chaos.

- Yep, I often use the same thought experiment for any organizational structure.

Every CEO snapped out of existence? Things would more or less keep humming along.

Every entry level employee snapped out of existence? Complete chaos and pan-social collapse.

Really have come out of the political closet.

Oh yeah?

I guess you're not the only one that expects him to offer an olive branch or peace offering to get a pardon from the NY governor.

 

[KMFJD]

lol Don Jr's sloppy drunk ex carted off to be US Ambassador to Greece and Kari Lake to head VOA?

lmfao

Here’s How Kari Lake’s VOA Appointment Could Crumble

The right-wing conspiracy theorist could turn the respected international broadcaster into a propaganda arm. Thankfully, her appointment is far from guaranteed.

I think that was taj’s wet dream…

Yeah, for all his faults and flaws, he's still not quite the despicable bucket of offal that is taj.

Hard to believe this is where we are in the 21st century.

[kage69]

I can't believe the polio thing, wow. RFK Jr bringing back the iron lung I guess? So ridiculous.

John Willink is drinking the Tulsi and Pete Koolaid too sounds like, I just lost so much respect for him. These aren't learn on the job positions Jocko, don't preach about duty, skill, national security and leadership if you can't be honest with yourself (or others) regarding fitness for duty.

Il Douche isn't even in office yet, and his rot is already spreading, fucking things over...

Yep, she's outta there.

But hey wasn't Kari Lake supposed to be Ambassador to Mexico? Did she said 'F that and F you, I'm not living in Mexico'?

I think chicken livers and sweetbreads and chicken hearts are all very delicious. Don't insult offal by comparing to that piece of shit taj!

 

[cytg111]

Trump shadow cabinet count?

 

[hal2kilo]

I guess we get to find out how relevant Sen. McConnell is.

Mitch McConnell Decries 'Dangerous' Push Against Polio Vaccine After RFK Jr. Report

"Anyone seeking the Senate’s consent to serve in the incoming Administration would do well to steer clear of" such efforts, the polio survivor stated Friday.
